As the link says, a canadian man was arrested when he refused to give border agents the password to his phone. Granted, that's just how the story is told in the media; we can't be sure that was the only reason. However, people can't be compelled to provide access to the contents of their devices without following some sort of process (I'm not entirely sure how this works, obtain a warrant or something like that?). An inspection of the device itself is certainly acceptable, but the contents of a phone or laptop are usually deeply personal. People have a right to privacy about these contents, and authorities must have "reasonable suspicion" to demand access. There's no real reason for this requirement to be relaxed at the border either. If the contents of a phone were really a threat to a country's security, it would have been much easier to smuggle it in over the internet. Checking the contents of a device would be a completely unnecessary step.
